Password managers exchange too many strong secrets to remember, for one strong secret you can remember.
You just have to turn off any automatic / integration features. I do. Unlock with master password for every use. Really, how often is that, since most sites keep you logged in? Just a couple times a day for me.
- adevine 10y agoUgh, seriously? I think the vast majority of people wouldn't use a password manager if it were that difficult to use, especially on mobile where typing a truly secure password with different casing and special chars is a PITA. Getting a phone with a fingerprint scanner to unlock my password manager has been the mobile feature that has had the most valuable impact on me in the past couple years.
- mitchell209 10y agoEven though I use 1Password, I used to use weak passwords on some accounts I frequently had to sign in to because I couldn't stand typing my master password in to my iPhone every time I wanted to open it. Finger print unlocking means I can use significantly stronger passwords for almost everything with little trouble now. That feature has been invaluable to me. Probably one of the most important mobile features ever, for me.
- ploxiln 10y agoI sign in even less often, maybe once a month, on my phone. GMail, other google services, Instagram, Snapchat, HackerNews in Firefox, everything I can think of stays signed in forever. (Though I don't use much more than those, on my phone. I do have a laptop ...)
